Abstract

In Study I responses to the 60 BSRI items from 580 college students were factor analyzed. Four factors were rotated to the Varimax criterion and labeled Emotional Expressiveness, Instrumental Activity, Sex of Subject, and Social Immaturity. These factors were virtually identical to those found earlier by Gaudreau (1977). In Study II, another sample of 600 college students was employed to compare the internal consistency of the three BSRI original scales with that of the four factor scales derived from Study I. Even with their shorter length, the factor scales were more internally consistent than those originally constructed by Bem. Some logical problems in the labeling of the scales in the BSRI are discussed.
